NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

To all who m may Be it known that I,

FASTENER.

Application filed July 18, 1923. Serial No. 652,313.

concern: Fnnn Hinsi-i, a citizen of the United States, residing in thecity of New York, county and certain new and useful Imhave inventedproveinents in Fasteners, of which State of New York,

the following is a specification.

My present invention relatesto a fastener, and more particularly to aslotted metallic plate or slide which at with an integral hook tion withan eyelet,

the back is provided whereby, in co-operaloop, or other complementarymember, a strap may be adjustably and detachably connected to anotherpart of the same strap or to article. c

The object thereof piece, which which may be cheaply made,

slidably adjustable is neat and attractive in appearance,

a different strap or is to provide a onehook member and which isefficient for the purpose in viewand will not readily become detached.

The invention will be understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawlng, where- 1 is a front or strap equipped with my improvedfastening member and thereby strap; Fig.

2 is a perspective view a second of the attached to parts separated,showing the back of the fastener Fi g. 3

is a longitudinal section through the fastener b-y itself and throughthe upper or back therein; Fig. back of a modified of the end of a strapfor co-operation with ener; and Fig. 5 is a strap and the eyelet set 4is'a perspective view of the form of the fastener and provided with aloop the hook of the fastview of this last. fastener in longitudinalsection.

As illustrated in Figs. 1-3, 6 indicates a double strap or tab,depending from a garment, in the'outer fold of which is set an eyelet 7and 8 indicates the end of a sec ond strap-that of a hose-supporter, forex ample-upon which the'fastener 9 1s mounted. The fastener pro per,stamped out and shaped up from a thinsheet of metal, c011- sists of abody or slide, provided with two transverse slots and the resultingthree bars, which is upset to form a stiffening flange 10 along bothsides and across each end, and of a hook 11, integral with thevintermediate or middle bar, which hooks into the eyelet.

One feature of the hook is that it is formed in part from the mat erialcut from one of the slots and in part from the middle bar inner edge ofthe eyelet, and a convexity or new YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO THE ADJUSTAooMrA vr, me, or t rounded hump 13 which by engaging the back of theeyelet serves as a means for largely preventing any accidentalseparation of the hook from theeyelet. The hook is also upset, near itsouter end, to provide a sli ht forward projection 14: which further servs to lockit within the eyelet and so to prevent the accidentaldisengagement of the 7 parts.

This fastener is equallyadapted, its position being-reversed, for theattachment of the shoulder strap to acorner of the bib of a childsoveralls, or it may be used in any connection or for any purposedesired.

The form of fastener 9 shown in Figs. 4 and 5 is designed especially foruse on galoshes, or for fastening the straps of ladies low shoes andslippers, either in cooperation with an eyelet or with a metallic orother loop 7. Here the stiffening flanges are turned forwardly, theoutwardly curved side flanges 10 forming with the body a channel of adepth to receive the strap, while the transverse flanges 10*, integralwith the sides offthe middle bar. serve in connection with the slots toprevent the slipping of the strap. The hook 11 is formed wholly withinthe middle bar, which is wide enough for the purpose, and is providedwith the locking projection 14 sufficient to prevent the accidentaldisengagement of the hook from a loop; hence, when the fastener is to beused in co-operation with a loop, tlie'rounded hump at the back ofthehook may if desired be omitted. What I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A one-p ece metallic fastener comprising which is usually found aslotted body or slide which is upset to.

'tion.

part at least from the material of the bar.

2. A one-piece metallic fastener comprising a body, pierced to providetwo transversejslots andthree bars, which is flanged along both sidesand'across each end, and a hook, integral with the middle bar, which isformed partly from the material cut from one slot and partlyfroin thebar.

3. A one-piece metallic fastener comprising a body, pierced to providetwo tmnsverse slots and three bars which is stitlened by flanges alongits sides and transversely along the sides of the middle bar a hookwhich is integral with the middle bar:

"I. A one-piece metallic fastener comprising a transversely slottedbody, ad I to be adjustably mo ited upon strap, and a hook which isintegral with an inner bar of the body and w oh its base on the bar isbent ontwai G ly beyond the perpendicular and the act into a p anesubstantially parallel to 1e plane of the body, forming at the back ofthe hook a reentrantangle adapted to receive an edge of a co-operatingmember like an eyelet and so to render unlikely the accidentaldisplacement of the hook. V

5. no one-piece metallic fastener comprising a slotted body and integraltherewith a hook which, as providing double means for rendering unlikelyits accidental disengagement from a co-operating member, from its baseon the body is bent on somewhat curved lines firstontwardly slightlybeyond the perpendicular and then-back into a plane substantiallyparallel to the plane of the body and near its outer end is upset toform a sli ht inwardl extending locking 'oro ecb Q L 6. A one-piecemetallic fastener con1prising a slotted b1 or slide which is up toprovide longitudinal and trai'isverse st ening flanges and, a hook whichis integral with an inner bar or thebody and i formed in part at leastfrom th by being bent first olllln t 'Qij r t tond the perpendicular andthen back into a plane substantially parallel to the plane of zhe body.

'2'. A .one-piecemetallic fastener comprising a body, pierced to providetwo trans verse slots and three bars, and an integral hook which isformed in part from the material out from one slot and in part from thetransverse bar and whioh is so shaped as to provide means renderingunlikely its accidental disengagement from a co-operating member.

8. one-piece metallic fastener comprising a body, pierced provide twotransverse slots and three bars, which has on its front enter facestiffening flanges along both sides and transverse y along the sides ofthe middle bar and at its back has a hook integral with the middle barand provided with means rend 11g unlikely its accidental disengag 'nent11'0111 a cooperating member.
